UK supermarket Asda's line of vegan mince pies were a hit amongst consumers this past holiday season.
British supermarket Asda, the third-largest in the country, credited its vegan mince pies for an increase in sales during its Christmas quarter. During the last three months of 2017, Asda’s sales rose by 0.5 percent when compared to the same period in 2016. Made with raisins, festive spices, and shortbread crust, the plant-based alternative to the traditional British treat debuted at Asda in December, and was available in a pack of six frozen pies for $1.20 during the holiday season. According to Asda chief executive Roger Burnley, the new product appealed to customers due to its taste, value, and vegan-friendliness. “[It] helped attract over 348,000 new customers to our stores in December and meant we were the only one of the big four [supermarkets] to retain our market share,” Burnley said. Last year, UK-based supermarket Sainsbury credited its 300-percent sales spike to its new line of vegan cheese.
